I'm Yukiko. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am 3T lover- Travel, Tea ceremony and Traditional and modern arts. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children. I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide. My main tour area are Tokyo, Kamakura, Yokohama, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Gunma and Nikko. It's a private personalized tour so that I'd be happy to discuss about it with you in advance to make your tour pleasant. We can include Japanese cultural experiences if you'd like. I also have done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. I took the plunge, it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills. I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. I've experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed. I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Hi, I’m Aiko! I love connecting with people and communicating in English, and that’s what led me to start this work. I’ve always wanted to interact with travelers directly and share the charm of the places I call home. While studying abroad, I often talked about Japan with people from different countries. Not only famous destinations like Tokyo and Kyoto, but also my hometown, Gunma, which I truly believe is a wonderful place worth discovering. I enjoy traveling around my local area even on my days off, and I’d love to share that side of Japan with you. I have studied abroad in the Philippines and later spent about a year and a half living mainly in Vancouver, Canada. During that time, I studied at a vocational school while gaining hands-on experience through internships such as cruise planning, SNS marketing, and English conversation programs for Japanese learners. I also worked part-time as a restaurant server, where I interacted with tourists on a daily basis. My goal is to offer experiences that make you think, “I want to come back to Japan again!” I’m really looking forward to meeting you and helping make your trip meaningful and enjoyable through fun conversations and shared experiences :)

“Initial D tour”
Excellent tour from start to finish. Andy was a very thoughtful and attentive guide, making sure I was comfortable and enjoying the experience. I was travelling solo, and Andy was great company throughout the day - friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable, he let me bring my luggage with us and made sure I made my train at the end of the day. The whole tour felt relaxed, well organised, and personal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable experience!

Hi Jesse, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review! It was an absolute pleasure showing you around and hanging out for the day. Being a fellow enthusiast, I always want to make sure the trip feels relaxed and tailored just right, so I’m thrilled to hear you felt comfortable and well taken care of—luggage tetris and train schedules included! Hope you have a wonderful journey in Japan, and one day , our paths will cross again for another memorable drive. Cheers, Andy

“Best part of my trip!”
My day visiting Mt. Haruna and Shibukawa could not have went better. I had such an excellent time hanging out with Andy, stopping by all the cool Initial D and JDM spots. Andy is a fantastic tour guide and had a lot of great information at every stop of the way. This has been the highlight of my trip so far and I can't thank Andy enough for being such an awesome guide! Highly recommend this trip if you like Initial D or JDM cars in general. Thanks again, Andy!
Andy L.
Hey Kyle, Wow, thank you so much for the incredible review! It was absolute blast hanging out with you and hitting up all those legendary Initial D and JDM spots around Shibukawa and Mt. Haruna. Showing fellow enthusiasts around the real-life locations we all grew up watching is exactly why I love doing this. Hearing that this was the highlight of your trip means the world to me. You were an awesome guest, and navigating those mountain roads with someone who truly appreciates the culture made the day even better. Thanks again for booking with me, Kyle! Safest of travels on the rest of your journey, and whenever you find yourself back in Japan, you know who to call for another run. Peace out! — Andy
